[midnight rambler]

For the crime of barbering without a license.

Don't you just LOVE living here in the land of the free? :sarc:

[gunDriller]

were they using raw milk as a shaving cream ... or raw cream as a hair conditioner ?

why not let the FDA participate in these raids ! :sarc:

[k-os]

We certainly have let a lot of things slip in this country.

[Heimdhal]

I dont know about you guys, but I feel safer all ready. I bet there was a pie store beneath each of those barber shops too. Im telling you guys, you gotta watch out for them barbers.

With all the local, state and federal govts having money problems I am not sure swat teams are the best way to go collecting on $30 - $100 licensing fees. I remember hearing that a swat team operation can run into thousands of dollars per operation.

This makes no sense at all... well unless its to get people use to the para military style police that the police departments are morphing into. This is all thanks the the federal government grants and stimulus money thrown at the local police departments at a time when the money is tight. What possible use could these jack boot thugs have???? I wonder!!!!

It seems that the feds are becoming afraid of us common folks? They seem to be popping up everywhere... TSA, FBI, ATF, Local and state police depts, IRS... and the list goes on. You can see the Fed enforcement army growing in numbers and weapons upgrades!

There is only one target that these people have... Us!!!!!

Haha, that was my exact first thought!

They were probably busy doing something important. :sarc:

I think they don't want anyone to make a dime outside the system, and want to be sure the useless eaters get that message loud and clear.

I don't know about barbering, but raw dairy farming can be quite lucrative, and the middleman (i.e. irs.gov) is cut out entirely. Can't have that now, can they?

This is the world of Miller Farm, a Pennsylvania food producer that has grown to $1.8 million in annual sales from less than half that four years ago. The farm is so busy it's turning away orders from food cooperatives around the country.

But data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture suggest what an anomaly Miller Farm is.

While farming is undergoing a renaissance of sorts, with more than 300,000 new farms started from 2002 to 2007, accounting for nearly 2 million small farms, making a good living is becoming tougher. The USDA in its 2007 census said the number of small farms with $100,000 to $250,000 annual sales (its highest revenue range for small farms) declined 7%.

Small farmers who go by the book get screwed; small farmers who go outside the system make a profit, at least until the "authorities" step in with their jackboot thugs.

I am thinking maybe they raided the barber shops thinking that something else was going on - drugs, money laundering, weapons, but they found nothing, so they had to charge them with operating without licenses.

Yes, there's an unwritten prohibition: congregating while black outside of state organized or sanctioned black congregating areas is forbidden. Same thing coming to your white community soon.

I'm thinking they went in like that because of the place...Pine Hills


-Orlando locals have labeled Pine Hills with the degrading nickname Crime Hills. Pine Hills is situated in the vicinity of higher crime areas, such as "Carver Shores" to the south and "Mercy Drive" to the east (which the local media falsely reports as being located in Pine Hills). These areas have long possessed high crime that eventually spills into Pine Hills. As a result, statistics show Pine Hills being one of Orlando's high-crime areas [5]. In addition to "Crime Hills", other local nicknames for the area are "Choppa City" (due to police helicopters patrolling over the area), "The Hills" (or "Da Hillz"), and to a limited extent, "Westside".

All that which you're referring to is being cultivated as it is very good for the business of policing, America's top export and the one thing we excel at all too well, we are the world's paragon of policing.

And of course the niggas are growing the coca leaves and processing it into cocaine for their crack right there in their 'hood. :sarc:

If you cannot see that those circumstances you refer to are cultivated then you're as blind as a bat.

They are working on getting the darkies all acclimated to the iron fist, and after over four decades of that they're almost done. You're next.

Holy f*cking "understatement of the year" award to you, K-os.

[FunnyMoney]

There are parts of the third world where the police won't go without a army of force backing them up and in some cases fighting their way in. Could be the future is here.

I'm just playing around with you K-os.

Over the last while I have seen that you are really starting to notice that there are insidious things going on around you. I'm glad to see that evolution.

No, your response was on target. It was deserving, and I can take it. |--0--|

Lately, I am thinking more and more that the amount we have let slip by us is insurmountable.

People don't care that the SWAT team shows up at at barber shops. The television, video games, movies have been telling them for decades that this kind of force is necessary. I saw on the news (in the RV park lobby) that 81% of people favor back scatter machines at the airport. I see these things connected - people interviewed said "I'd rather them scan me, than have my plane blow up." They're programmed for some sort of false sense of safety.

I don't see us returning to sanity without something drastic happening, and it's really depressing.

[Awoke]

You shouldn't feel depressed. You should feel empowered because you know what to look for.

[mick silver]

so we need a army to go into a barber shop now ... you better watch out for them razor blades . what a bunch of shit heads
